I guess many people's bet lost because of Molde last night. It is the same for me also. Braga, Ajax and Plzen all won but Molde disappointed me... I should have been more careful with my choice but I didn't bet a high amount at least.

It is really more difficult to predict teams in qualification round. They don't make me surprised this much in group stage. Probably Molde will win next time but I won't place a bet on their win this time. Tongue

As you know there is no relegation to the Conference League in this new format. It is more possible to predict the winner of the competition earlier. Do you have any favourites in your mind?

It is too risky to bet on a match of this class, the performance of teams like Molde and Elfsborg is very difficult to predict, the proof is that you just lost a bet, luckily you didn't bet a large amount. I don't take too many risks in this qualifying round, there were so many surprises in the matches, except for the matches Ajax vs Bialystok, Plzen vs Hearts and Braga vs Rapid Wien. These teams can overcome their opponents because of their different qualities. The new format that removes relegation to the Conference League means teams will have to battle through the qualifying rounds to make it to the main draw, so it's no surprise there are a few surprises at this stage.
